Pros

The company is focused on innovation, productivity, performance and growth, not just of the company but employees as well. The company treats employees fairly and well, particularly high performers and high potential employees.

Cons

Given the global footprint, it is a relatively more diverse and challenging place to work. However, it is a good place for top talents looking to gain a global perspective to work.

Pros

Many dedicated employees Diversified product portfolio Expertise on technology platforms Strong engineering capabilities

Cons

Mark Costa is destroying the company. Where is backbone of the rest of the executive team? Will HR stand up? The employees are treated as disposable. The great culture of teamwork and collaboration is being laid off and if you oppose it in anyway its career suicide. Too many employees coming in without expertise. American jobs have been shipped to Hyderabad India and the rate is only increasing. Hyderabad employees are creating disasters, too many jobs added too fast there. We’re laying off the very people that can fix the mess. All new employees are in India or straight out of school. You get what you pay for. We say D&I is important to us, yet we are moving jobs rapidly to a place that has a horrible diversity and inclusion record, particularly towards women. When issues happen with they are excused because of their cultural background. I guess it is fitting since there are no women on the Executive Team, and only one minority in that group. Mark’s strategy looks like classic corporate greed, he took raises away after they were communicated to employees. He says we don’t have the money, yet we announced an acquisition weeks later. Not to mention we have the cash to increase the dividends and buy back stock. Did I mention Mark flies back and forth to his home in Miami weekly, also his pay is higher than any previous CEO at a time employees are treated the worst in the company’s history? Where is HR and the rest of the Executive Team? Training and continuing education for employees is at a paltry level. Cost cutting and layoffs for years isn’t a strategy!
